    Hello Boys And Girls, The N.R.A.I. Are Sending An F-class Squad To Bisley To Compete In A Two Day Internatioal Challenge Match (19,20 And 21 November 2005).
    The Republic Of Ireland Will Be Competing Against Germany,france And Great Britian. There Will be Three Teams Of Four Competing for the ROI.

    This Will Be The N.R.A.I.'s Third International

    Mr John Craven, has proved,invaluable as Coach And Manager Of The Squad, with his experience of nine all armys.

    The N.R.A.I. Would Like To Thank M.N.S.C.I. For Use Of Their Grounds For Squad Training.

    I am sure we wish them v-bulls all the way.
    Unfortunately the gourgous boudica did not make the squads, but I will travel and cheer the boys on.
    I will report on results when we come back.

    First of all the best of luck to the lads competing in Bisley. I know they have done well in the past and im sure they will do it again.
    I have to say (with no disrespect intended in any way) what has experience of nine All Armies got to do with F class, coaching, and managerial work??
    F class is a completly different format of shooting I would imagine to that of military.

    I do believe that N.R.A.I and M.N.S.C.I are well on their way to promoting and most importantly enjoying the great sport of shooting and long may it continue.

    As for you boudica not making the squad
    not to worry there is always next year and many years to come Im sure,most importantly at least you are cheering on the lads who I am sure will fly and shoot under the R.O.I flag proudly as they have done before.

    BEST OF LUCK LADS

    Well Dk ,I Lived In The States For A While, Where Were U. I Got My Interest In Target Shooting There.

    My....my...a 338?.. Is That Bigger Than A 6.5x284...

    If You Want To Shoot F-class, Target Rifle, Pistol,smallbore Or Even Shotgun Come Oooonnn Dooowwnn To The Midland National Shooting Centre Of Ireland, Near Blueball, Co. Ofally.
    It Is The Only Range That Can Cater For All Shooting Disciplines. If You Shot On Any Of The Big Ranges In The States, The M.N.S.C.I. Is The Nearest To Them In Size In Ireland.


    The Club Has A Newly Built Heated Club House With Refreshments Like Tea, Coffee, Minerals, "hang Sanguidges" And Snacks
    If You Want To Get On Any Of The National Teams You Will Have To Compete Like The Rest Of Us.
    By The Way My Girl Friend Has Just Told Me That .338 Are Not Allowed In F-class, So Your Big Rifle Is No Good.


    I KNOW WHEN I JOINED I WAS MADE FEEL VERY WELCOME AND SO WILL YOU WHEN YOU COME DOWN, OR ANY ONE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER WHO WOULD LIKE TO JOIN, SO I WILL WATCH OUT FOR THE BIG GUY WITH THE BIG RIFLE.
    THE GOURGOUS BOUDICA

    Boudica,

    Best of Luck to the Gang going to Bisley.
    I have no doubt they will perform well.:D
    I have met them a few times in Bisley. Good people.
    Tell them to stay away from the Pavillion. They know what I mean.
    Regards,

    My, My Kimber, Please Pray Tell, The Pavillion Is A Highly Reputable Establishment. Why Should The Boys Stay Away From The Pavillion???

    Thou takes evreything out of context here.
    I also stay at the Right House ie. Canada House and have had a pint with the F Class Team in the Pavillion during the Pheonix.
    The Guinness in a certain establishment during the Trafalgar Meeting will be the cause of many a tree being cut down if you know what I mean.
    Regards,:eek:

    P.S. Do the Midlands Have a Gallery Range?
    If so I would be honoured to have a shot or two there?

    There is a gallery range in M.N.S.C.I
    a good one actually!
    There has been all sorts of gallery shooting on this range over the last 10 years perhaps not the type of gallery you know. I also enjoy this type of shooting even just to watch it
    I have shot gallery quite a bit over the years in Bisley.All going well Ill bring my gallery rifles home soon from Bisley.
    The M.N.S.C.I have newly installed auto turning targets in its gallery range ----at the moment there are only eight but on completion (hopefully soon)there will be thirty two.A modernised version of what you have at Bisley.


    Heres one for you the fastest time for knocking 5 steel plates (measuring 5 inches square) at a 100 yds off a bench on the M.N.S.C.I range is 2.1 sec
    This record time was done with a bolt action rifle .
    Thats what I call gallery fast shooting and loads of fun:)
